The correct way to address a Brigadier General named Mr. Jones is General Jones, or written as BG Jones. In formal situations, a Brigadier General should always be addressed by their full rank. Basic pay for an entry-level Brigadier General with 2 or less years of experience is $8,264.40 per month.
General officers (those with the word General in the rank) are anything from grades O-7 to O-10. The names that go with these grades are Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, and General. I believe these same names and grades apply in the US Army and Marine Corps.
